Heer (HEER)
Heer
The Heer is a large, formidable force comprised of just over 210,000 loyal, dedicated, and fearsome men and women from all walks of life. Bound by a shared sense of duty and allegiance to their Soldier King and their glorious Reich, the Heer stands as the vanguard of the nation's defense, prepared to protect its borders and assets, and uphold the principles of the nation.
Characterized by discipline, rigorous training and education, and unwavering loyalty, the Heer represents the "cream of the crop" of the Reich's citizens. They are handpicked each year from every new batch of graduates from the Taktikschule. Soldiers of all ages, ranging from seasoned veterans of wars past to the greenest of recruits, form the ranks of the Heer.
The Heer's training regimen is renowned for its immense length and intensity. From the age of 8 years, every child in the Reich is enrolled in Taktikschule, literally "Tactic school", to learn the ways of a good and useful soldier. Through extensive physical conditioning, combat drills, and tactical exercises, soldiers are honed into highly skilled warriors. Emphasizing proficiency in a wide range of hand to hand combat techniques, guerrilla fighting, and strategic planning, the Heer ensures its members possess the necessary skills to confront any threat.
Beyond their combat capabilities, members of the Heer embody the values of honor, integrity, and sacrifice. Soldiers are instilled with a deep sense of loyalty to their comrades and a profound respect for their Soldier King and his ideals. This unwavering devotion fuels the Heer's determination to defend their Reich, even in the face of extreme adversity.
The Heer serves as a symbol of strength and unity, instilling a sense of reassurance among the Soldatenreich's citizens. Their unwavering commitment to their King and Reich, coupled with their formidable skills and steadfast determination, make them a formidable force that stands ready to defend their homeland from any aggressor. As the guardians of the Soldatenreich's sovereignty, the Heer embodies the unwavering spirit and indomitable will of its people, forging an unbreakable bond between the army and the nation it serves.
